ZIP 37146 vs ZIP 37035

This side-by-side compares ZIP 37146 (Pleasant View, TN) and ZIP 37035 (Chapmansboro, TN) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 37146 has a population of 7,182 at 92 people per square mile, while ZIP 37035 has 3,766 at 48 per square mile. That difference in population size and density alone reshapes how every other metric should be interpreted — a higher-income ZIP with 1,200 residents behaves very differently from one with 45,000.

On income and education, ZIP 37146 reports a median household income of $110,938 against $94,068 in ZIP 37035, with per-capita income of $47,842 vs $34,766. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 34.3% in 37146 and 24.0% in 37035. Poverty rate reads 2.1% vs 3.5%, and unemployment 4.2% vs 6.7% — these four fields alone drive most of the difference in the scorecard grades you will see for each ZIP.

Housing separates these two ZIPs further: median home value sits at $373,500 in 37146 versus $325,100 in 37035, with median rent of $1,675 and $791 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 88.1% vs 85.2%. When reading the comparison table below, focus on paired metrics rather than single winners — a ZIP with lower home values and lower income is not strictly "worse" if rent-to-income ratios and commute times land in the same zone. Every value is pulled from the exact same ACS table so the two columns are genuinely comparable.
